I am frustrated and cannot figure out what is going on with this issue.
I have been fooling with configuring PayPal payment ALL day. I couldn't find any instructions that go over it and there aren't any real help files for the V6 tools. Anyway, I have it setup, PayPal is working fine. I have now ran into an issue that I cannot retrieve the values from the record that I stored. I CAN update the record with the TXN number from PayPal. What I am attempting to do is to update the record and THEN send an email telling me and the user that the transaction is complete. When I send the email to myself, the only information that is returned is the information that PayPal returned back, NOT the information from the database. I am not sure where I am going wrong. I have attempted to retrieve the information from the database in different ways and none of them are successful. How am I suppose to get and use the information from the record in the database for this PayPal transaction?
Thanks!

You'll have to post a screenshot of your IPN event so we can see what it is you have in there already. And might as well show us the email body too.
So, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I assumed that the data from the "read data" was going to be in the data variable, but it is not. It is actually in the read_dataX variable, based on https://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/74-chronoforms/chronoforms6/5289-variable-shortcodes.
